The big affair is off to a good start. Bill Wheater wonders where his date went. Seniors Hold Ball At Statcr Hotel Patty Phillips and Allan Marion, the King and Queen, smile happily. Don Brady presents the 'tBest Chape- rones award to Mr. and Mrs. Kalaf. Decorated with palms and lighting effects by Huntington Gardens, the Statler Ballroom be- gan to fill up at nine o'clock with Seniors and their dates and a few underclassmen. All were in formal dress and the girls wore corsages. After intermission with punch and sand- wiches, served by waiters of the Statler, a dance contest to pick the King and Queen was held. All but five couples were eliminated. The chaperones chose Allan Marion the King, and his date, Patty Phillips, became the Queen. Dick Ford's band played all types of dance music. During one of the intermissions they provided entertainment with familiar songs. Don Brady presented the Best Chaperonesn award. It was a tin can nailed to a wooden stand- ard which was given to Mr. and Mrs. Kalaf. Tired and shoeless from dancing everything from a slow fox trot to a lively jitterbug, the dancers left the ballroom at one o'clock. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Kalaf, Dr. and Mrs. Bennett, and Mr. and Mrs. Taber. 127
